Abstract
The purpose of this work is to propose and analyze a hybridized discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) method for the generalized Boussinesq equations with singular heat source. We use polynomials of order k, k − 1 and k to approximate the velocity, the pressure and the temperature. By introducing Lagrange multipliers for the pressure, the approximate velocity field obtained by the HDG method is shown to be exactly divergence-free and H(div)-conforming. Under a smallness assumption on the problem data and solutions, we prove by Brouwer’s fixed point theorem that the discrete system has a solution in two dimensions. If the viscosity and thermal conductivity are further assumed to be positive constants, a priori error estimates with convergence rate O(h) and efficient and reliable a posteriori error estimates are derived. Finally numerical examples illustrate the theoretical analysis and show the performance of the obtained a posteriori error estimator.
